LYRICS
If a problem comes
And gets in your way
Interruption of strums
Gonna ruin your day?

If you forget it
You’re gonna regret it
Solve for solution
It’s the souls evolution

You’ll find a way to obey
The laws of modern physics

Travel through most any medium
With modern music
Permeate the thins and the thicks
With modern music

LYRICS
If there’s one thing, I’d like to say to you
It’s,
I’m sorry

There’s nothing else to say
But,
I’m sorry

Sorry for the way
Sorry one two (too) may day
Not, today

Because now,
We’re free
And, I’m sorry
You’ve left the story

And, everyone lives happily ever after.

Is your thumb stuck up your….
But,
You didn’t know
You have to let go
Is your hand stuck in the cookie jar
What,
You didn’t know
Ya gotta let go

Because sometimes
Freedom chimes
Because sometimes
Freedom rhymes
Can set you free
Let you be
Help you to see

LYRICS
Wonder how I got to be alive
Wonder how hard I can strive
What I know for sure
I’m sure going to give

What’s your for-sure?

No housing foreclosure
Instead community inclusion
No rousing enclosure
Instead humanity infusion

Give with the heart
’till I depart
Give with the soul
Gonna give through rock n’ roll

LYRICS
Is it just me
Or is it getting weird out there
All I can see
Helps me be aware

Not to be feared
But it is weird

The vittles are in the cupboard
The grill is getting hot
We can strike the right chord
Be in the scene… why not?

LYRICS
It’s been a while since we’ve been together
Seems like it’s been just about forever
Hope you managed through the stormy weather

Whether it’s thick or thin
Feel my love within (x2)

If you’re feeling down on your luck
Just about ready to say, “What the *&$%!”
Pick the guitar up and start to pluck

No doubt
My love, you’ll never be without

LYRICS
We fail to see
Flight MH370
Lost to the sea
Or totally cut free?

Maybe abducted by aliens
To be converted from homo sapiens
No longer human beings
They’ve been clipped of their wings

The astral choir sings:
Fly through the sky
Don’t think to sink
Fly, fly, fly

What will the debris field yield?
Is there a conspiracy to conceal?
How can this be for real?
Will love ones be able to deal?

LYRICS
Be careful who you cheat
Or it might be crow you eat

Meet the crow meat

Does it leave a foul taste in your mouth
After you’ve been caught stealing someone else’s wealth?

Caw, caw, caw
In dishonest awe
Caw, caw, caw
Harsh caw for a harsh call

Leviticus warned us
Ya know
Don’t eat crow

You’re absurd
Gonna choke on the bird
Dirty bird
Know what I mean?
“These are the birds you are to regard as unclean” (Leviticus 11:13)
How ya gonna get into heaven eating raven?

LYRICS
Have you ever felt the impact
Of an imp act
An imp is a unique creature
With the feature
Of being mischievous

Wouldn’t be wise for us
To consider frivolous
Rather take the impetus
Of the indigenous

“Sharing the same sense of free spirit and enjoyment of all things fun.”
Let’s see what we can get done

You’d better fasten your seatbelt
Unless you want this impact to be felt
Where so far off the radar
We can’t miss but to hit
The train lacks track
Prepare for your pants to be $#@!

This is it
The main event
This is it
Life savings spent

At the end of the line
Are you doing fine?
Before the end of time
The Last Supper… dine?

When are you coming home?
It’s been so long
Since we’ve stood strong
Out on your own
Family juggle
Yet, all alone
Struggle

When are you coming home?
I’ve been away
One or too to many day
Time to find my way
Back home to stay
Not crawling
Hovering
In our comfort zone

Oh, Lord, I’m coming home!

LYRICS
If the dismal drama bothers
Be it mother-in-law
Or brothers
If I had my druthers
Forget fixing their flaw
Let relations thaw

It looks like the ref. is calling a penalty
Let’s see
Yes!
I heard ’em shout
“Time out…
’till you confess”

Fess up to the facts
What you’ve done behind our backs
All the horrid attacks
